Squad Fees
are charged on a per-session basis and paid for via the purchase of a Multi-Session Pass.
Swimmers with a negative balance on their Multi-Session Pass may not be permitted to attend sessions until the pass is returned to a positive balance.

Vouchers must be used for a single month of training
Vouchers will be applied to the month following their submission (e.g. a voucher submitted in February will be applied to the training fees for March)

Equipment
All swimmers are required to have and be responsible for their own equipment.
All swimmers must wear appropriate swimwear. Board-shorts or football shorts are not permitted.
All swimmers in the Novice, Junior and Development Squads must wear the supplied club cap while training.

. Most equipment can be purchased through the squad.
Sessions
Swimmers must nominate which days they are going to attend training through the
Enrolment Form
.
Swimmers will be booked into their selected sessions each week.
One-off changes to sessions must be made through the booking system. i.e. change of day or cancellations.
Permanent changes should be made by completing a new enrolment form.
If you cannot attend a session, you must cancel via the booking system at least 30 minutes before the start of the session, otherwise you will be charged for the session. Your squad fee will not be forfeited for cancelled sessions.
Starting and finishing training on time is important. Swimmers should arrive for training on time and be ready to start the land warm-up on time.
Swimmers must be dressed appropriately to be able to participate in the land warm-up, including appropriate footware.
Unless asked by the coach, parents/guardians are to refrain from speaking to their children whilst sessions are in progress. Parents should remain outside the club room during the land warm-up. If they need to, parents should also wait until the end of the session before talking to their child’s coach, or before the land warm-up begins.
Parents and Spectators should stay out of the areas highlighted on the maps below.
Swimmers are expected to use appropriate language at training.
Children are not to swim before their session.
Children under the age of 10yrs must have a Parent/Guardian at the pool at all times.
There are no sessions on Public Holidays.
If you are planning to miss training for an extended period (1 week or more) due to Holidays, School Camps etc. complete the
Training Break Form

Swimmers that do not attend consistently or miss large blocks of sessions without completing a training break form may be removed from the program.
